How fast do rats reproduce? A. Rats begin to breed at two to three months of age, and the period of gestation is about 21 days. The average litter is probably ten, and one female may have from three to four litters a year. That is why it if so important to guard against this rodent and why rat control requires constant attention. Q. Are sheep ever infected with Bang's disease? A. Yes, there have been a few cases reported, but the disease is most common among dairy and beef cattle, goats, and hogs. Q. How much space is needed in the brooder house for baby chicks? A. Hie Ralston Purina Company’s Research Farm recommends not more than two chicks per square foot during the first six weeks. Pul lets up to 20 weeks should have three square feet per bird, while 3G to four square feet is recommended per hen. Crowding retards growth and causes uneven development. Q. In fattening beef for market, bow do common grade steers com pare to good steers? A. According to the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, common grade steers are suited only to a- very short feeding period and are profitable only when they can be bought very cheaply.

Carcasses graded one full grade higher. 4. Dressed 1.75% more. 5. Fattened more rapidly. Q. How much feed is required to raise a turkey in confinement from poult to market? A. The average amount of feed re quired from start until 26 weeks of age is about 75 lbs., although this will vary according to the bird's con dition. variety, and length of con finement.
